Chicken Dinner in a Pumpkin

Baking dinner in what you’re eating isn’t a new thing, but I’d never baked my dinner in a pumpkin. Chicken Dinner in a Pumpkin is one of those dishes that you try with an open mind and are so very glad that you did. Chicken, rice, and vegetables come together to make a delicious dish where you eat the dish with the dinner! And by roasting the Chicken Dinner in a Pumpkin in the oven, you end up with sweet pumpkin flesh you can mix into the casserole style meal, giving it a wonderful earthy flavor that you just can’t get from other vegetables.

How to Make Chicken Dinner in a Pumpkin

While many recipes I found started with a rotisserie chicken, I started with two chicken breasts that I removed from the bones and cut into pieces. They were sauteed with carrots and celery, then simmered with a fantastic wild rice blend. I could see Chicken Dinner in a Pumpkin coming together in the pan! Once the rice turned soft, I cheated and added some canned soup for flavor, and of course, topped it all with fresh baby spinach. Spinach paired with pumpkin is an amazing flavor combination that I adore, so another opportunity to bring it to the table had me excited. I packed it all into a cleaned out sugar baby pumpkin and roasted it in the oven for about an hour for a fantastic dish that everyone loved.
